What the specs mean

16:10 screen

Close to widescreen: PSP and Switch nearly fill it. 4:3 home consoles show bars at the sides.

Based on: Display math: native screen shapes of each system

Sharpest fit: PSP

At 4x, PSP fills 91% of the screen with even pixels. Filling the rest means stretching, which some people smooth with a filter.

Based on: Display math: largest whole-number scale that fits the screen

Same chip as 1 other handheld

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800U also powers the AYANEO Next. The same chip means similar speed, though memory and cooling can differ.
